Advances in ultrafast spectroscopy experiments and high performance computing are revolutionizing the scientific community’s ability to study the physical processes that occur in solar cells at short length and time scales. Read More »

When Bryce Hoflund, a relative of supercomputer pioneer Seymour Cray was preparing to attend a conference in Berkeley on food policy, she decided to see if she could also visit Berkeley Lab and, particularly, NERSC. Read More »

Julian Borrill, leader of the Computational Cosmology Center at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has been awarded the NASA Exceptional Public Achievement Medal for "conceiving and implementing the mission-critical high performance computing system for Planck data analysis." The medal was presented to Borrill in an Oct. 13 ceremony at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
For the past 15 years, Borrill has worked on using computing resources at the National Energy… Read More »

A new tool developed at Berkeley Lab allows researchers to interactively explore the hierarchical processes that happen in the brain when it is resting or performing tasks. Scientists also hope that the tool can shed some light on how neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s spread throughout the brain. Read More »

The 22nd International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics, CHEP 2016, opens today, Oct. 10, in San Francisco, co-hosted by Berkeley Lab and SLAC. The Oct. 10-14 conference, co-chaired by Craig Tull of the Computational Research Division (CRD), will feature a number of presentations by staff from NERSC, CRD, ESnet and Physics. On Wednesday afternoon, conference attendees will have the option of visiting the lab for a tour of NERSC and ESnet.
The CHEP conferences… Read More »
